Searching the Deep for Sunken
Treasure.
Etom the Philndelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
A party of treasure seekers, backed byse
eral Philadelphia capitalists, have chartered
the schooner William P. Orr for period of
six months to look for 100000 Spanish dub
looms, which they assert are buried off the Del
aware capes on the English privateer De
Braak, which sank in 1898. A London law
yer has been at work for six months past in
looking up from English records in London
the full particulars of the laundering of the
De Braak, and has furnished to the parties in
terested the minutest details of the craft.
1t seems that the vessel had been privateering
on the Spanish Main, and had captured two
galleons loaded with the precious coin, which
was lodged in the lockers of the De Braak
for shipment to England. The vessel foun-
dered in gale, however, before she could
make the Delaware capes in safety.
The position of the wreck is claimed to
have heen accurately located by an electrical
metal testing apparatus, and work will be
started by blowing off by steam pressure a
mound of sand which has accumulated over
the hulk, after which powerful suction pumps
will draw up the loose articles in the hold.
Three experienced divers with all necessary
apparatus, steam boilers, pumps and party
of ten men will accompany the schooner, and
work will be started Immediately. A power
full tug will be chartered to remain by the
schooner to tow her to the Delaware Break
water when the sea shall become too heavy
for work and to assist in moving the divers
about in their work in the water, which is not
less than fifty feet deep.

The Governorship.

The Belair correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writing of the meeting of the Democratic
Central Committee of Hartford county, and of
the political talk on the occasion, says:
avery little interest appears to be felt in
State politics. If Hon. Stevenson Archer
should be in the field as a candidate for Gov
ernor, the county delegation would be fer
him. If he is not candidate and no other
Hartford county man is named, the choice of
the county would probably be Hon. Charles
b. Roberts. The Hamilton reform move
ment has made little Roadway in Hartford,
probably, for one reason, because of the fact
that the Democrats have fair primaries and
the elections are perfectly fair"
The Carroll Ne,rs says; ''From nearly all
parts Of the State come encouraging reports
Of growing sentiment for Hon. Charles u.
Roberts for Governor. In connection with
these reports it is significant that those who
favor other aspirants, as well as the aspirants
themselves, express their willingness to with
draw all opposition to what seems to be the
choice of the people, and to give their support
to the nomination made by the convention"

Political Notes.

Ex.Gov. Hoadly was interviewed whilst
passing through Pittsburg Monday. He is
quoted as saying: cleveland will be nomi-
mated by reclamation. There is certainly no
question about this, and he will be elected.
1t matters not whom the Republicans nomi-
nate. There is considerable scolding and
fretting among Democrats who have failed to
secure the Presidents favor, but the sickers
will be in line at the proper time"
The Executive Committee of the Prohibi-
ton party of New York met on Monday in
ALBANY, and decided to hold the Prohibition
State Convention at Syracuse on August 25th
and 26th Arrangements were made to begin
a speech making campaign throughout the
State Immediately after the State Convention
is held. Elk Governor St. John, of Kansas,
and John B. Finch, of Nebraska, will make
speeches Chairman Wheeler says that the
Convention will nominate full State ticket.
The School Board election in Omaha took
place Monday. Three tickets were in the
hed-Republican Democratic and mon
PARTISAN and the Republican ticket was
elected. Women were permitted to vote.
School marms were out in force and worked
like beavers. They had carriages, and worked
like old time politicians in gathering in votes.

Great Flood at Johnstown.

The great flood at Johnstown, Pennsylva-
MIA, and places in the vicinity, on Tuesday,
noted under the head of News of the
Week." was caused by waterspout west of
Hooversville, in Somerset county. That VIII
lage was entirely under water and more than
twenty dwellings were removed from their
foundations. One hundred families lost
nearly everything in the lower stories and
cellars of their houses. In Grubbtown, Cone
maugh borough. Worthwhile, Minersville,
Cambria City and Coopersdale, similar de-
struction is reported. AT Johnstown, both
the Conemaugh and Stony Creek rivers rose
and inundated the lower portion of the town.
1t is estimated that 200 people were tempo
rarily made homeless and dependant for shell
ter on their more fortunate neighbors. The
loss to grocery and dry goods dealers is great.
The Cambria Iron Company, the Gautier
Steel Company, the johnson Street Railway
Company and most of the stores suspended
work in the afternoon, and the gas works
were drowned out, leaving the town in dark
ness at night, except where electric lights
were used. 1t is reported that Mrs b. j.
Morrell, the lower portion Of whose house was
flooded, died from heart disease, caused by
the excitement and that Colonel James NJ.
Cooper dropped dead at Coopersdale from
the same cause. They were each about Go
wears of age

Hard on Secret Societies.

The Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church Of America, in session at Newburgh,
New York, on Tuesday, adopted resolutions
declaring shat secret societies, of which
secrecy is an essential Characteristic, are, be
cause Of their secrecy, immoral, selfish an 1
unjust; that they are degrading and enslaving
to the consciences of their members; that, in
addition to the secrecy of these fraternities.
many of them are Christless, yet counterfeit
the worship of the Church and obstruet her
work, and, for that reason, as well as on &c.
count of the secrecy maintained, the mem
beers of such societies ought not to be admitted
to the Church's membership, and that the
Synod enjoin the courts of this Church to re-
fuse admission to the privileges Of the Church
to the members Of all secret orders, and to
exclude from the membership those belonging
to such societies, if there be any in the Church
who may have crept in uuawares.n

An Editors Vigorous Language.

Collector of Internal Revenue Joseph X.
Roberts is an editor and unaecus.omed to be-
ing bulldozed. Upon the recommendation
of Gen. Bradley I. johnson, Ex-Gov. Whyte
and others Mr.. Roberts recently appointed
one George Trust to clerkshp in his Office.
The Civil Service Reform League, which
makes business of hunting up the records of
everybody but themselves, discovered that
the said Trust some years ago, in fight, I'M
fortunately had killed another man. They
then dashed themselves into fury and made
special report upon his appointment and de-
mandedh his dismissal. Collector Roberts heard
of the complaint, and evidently was not in a
good humor about it. When approached by
a reporter of the Herald last Monday, who
wanted to get his views on the report, Mr..
Roberts said he had not seen it. The re-
porter then enlightened him as to its contents,
and Mr.. Roberts said with strong emphasis
''The Reform League can go to h-ll ! That's
what say, and don't care how often you
tell them SOL
The reporter gazed in establishment
81 mean it, continued Mr.. Roberts, ''and
! wouldn't advise that body of men TO say
much more, for may be able to show how
some of the members of the league have re
commended to me for appointment men whose
character are no better than George Trusts"
's, don't PROPOSE" continued the collector,
ito be bulldozed by any newspaper or any
set of men, and if President Cleveland doesn't
like the way am conducting my Office he
knows perfectly well what to do in the matter"
We rather like our brother editors style.
1t is not classic or ornamental, but is vigorous
and emphatic. He used the old version.
Had he used the new and said ''sheor' in-
stead of "h--ll," his remark would not have
been SO expressive"
In substance Mr.. Roberts meant that, as he
was responsible for the administration of his
Office, he intended to conduct it in his own
way, regardless of sham reformers or anybody
else, and if Mr. Cleveland did not like his
way of managing the office he could appoint
some one else collector. We like Mr.. Rob-
erts' way Of expressing himself, under the
circumstances, and we are ready to back him
in his contest with the Reform League.

Tho Westminster Adrocafe than which there Is no
more subseTvient supporter Of inc ring u, 1s q
will not bow the knee TO German out OF the party.
Let the Adrocdte beware lest IL go step too far in
ration that must come 10 naught Ii Democratic
principles are to prevail and the life of the party
be maintained.-FrofeTtek uRioR
The Union is mistaken. The ADVOCATE is
Democratic paper. Itsupports Democratic
principles and party organization. 1t is not
against party because it cannot endorse the
action of every individual in it, and it cannot
concede to be Democrats those who are not
willing to fight within the party and abide by
the decision of the majority. If party organ
ization is to be continued the majority must
rule. Without organization there cannot be
party success, and consequently Democratic
principles cannot be applied to government.
The Union is such bitter hater of Senator
German and Col. L. Victor Baughman, it re-
CARDS everybody ringite who does not turn
in and abuse them, and it heartily applauds
every political tramp and crank who seeks
notoriety by criticising and denouncing them.
A set of cratic politicians went to Frederick
recently, and poured forth their wrath on
Messrs. German and Baughman, and the
Union was fairly wild with delight 1t mis-
took the utterances of these men to be the
mighty voice of the Democratic party, and
confidently expects both German and Baugh-
man to be sunk into political oblivion. If the
Union knows anything of the erratic politi-
clans who held forth in Frederick, it knows
they represent no one but themselves, and few
applaud except Republicans. And lift knows
anything of their political records for the past
ten or twelve years it knows they have no
right to speak in the name of the Democratic
party. Each one Of them would far exceed
in bossism anything ever known in Maryland
politics if the opportunity offered. As far as
they have had power, they have suffered no
interference with their will. None have done
anything for Democratic success in recent
years, but on the contrary have lent their eft.
forts to destroy the party organization.
The ADVOCATE is subservient to no man nor
faction, and the Union knew it when it as
serted to the contrary. 1t knows that the
ADVOCATE supports principles, not men, and
has no patience with those who profess to be
better than their party. And we state very
plainly we do not regard as Democrats any
men who will not abide by the decision of the
majority. The rule of the majority is the
very foundation of Democracy, and no man
can be party man or good Democrat who
does not subscribe to and abide by it.
The Democratic Central Committee has
taken steps to insure fair primaries and free
expression of opinion. If protesting Demo
Gratis wont avail themselves of the opportunity
to participate, they have no right to complain.
If they do complain they should be ignored
and treated as against the party. There
should be no premium on kicking.

Frederick's Tax Levy.

The Frederick county commissioners this
week made the levy for county purposes, and
fixed it at fifty eight cents on the 500, a re-
duction from the levy of last year of seven
cents This reduction will leave about $40,-
600 in the hands of the people, which will be
a considerable item, considering the unfayor-
able crop prospects. The county has now a
Democratic board of commissioners, and it
is due to their economy and retrenchment
that the reduction could be made. Under
Republican rule the levy was considerably
higher. Extravaganza was a rule, and the
people resolved upon change and decided
to entrust the Democratic party. The wis
dom of their course is demonstrated by n
reduction that will save $4,000 to the tax
payers.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the Demo
cratic party to give the county good, economi-
cal government, and with success too, n GER
tain coterie of Baltimore politicians went to
Frederick recently to stir up discord and con-
seqnenty retard progress. Bosship was their
theme, but we take it that the tax payers of
Frederick will likely vote to continue any
bosship that results in good government and
reduction, in about one year, of $4,000 in
county expenses.
